I create a structure forum on my host as following:

1. Main Category
1.1 - Forum
1.1.1 - Forum
1.1.2 - Category
1.2 - Category
1.2.1 - Forum
1.2.2 - Category


When I display the forum, icon of category and icon of forum is same as together.

I found and customize template for displaying forum and use bit cancontainthreads: $foruminfo[cancontainthreads] to check which forum is act as forum or act as category.

However, it seems to effect to level 1.1 & 1.2 (in above structure).
I tried to edit icon's link in forumhome_subforumbit_nopost (for category) and forumhome_subforumbit_post (for forum) but it's nothing to change.

So how to determine which sub-forum (level 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.2) is act as forum or act as category.


Thanks!

When you make Add a Forum, there is an option where it says act as a category,
Ideally you should set those forums as categories which wont have text in them but they act as seprators for different categories.

I think for your structure.. Use

1. Main Category
- 1.1 Primary Main Forum
- 1.2 Secondary Main Forum

2. Second Category
- 2.1 Forum
- 2.2 Forum 2
